He Knows a Good Cigar.

Not one man in twenty knows any,
thing about cigars. The nineteen
couldn't tell good cigar from poor
one. This sounds like the cheap boast
OF every dealer who handles low grade
OF tobacco. If there is a man in the
world who Is full of his own conceit
and seems proud of a universal ignor-
ance, and who believes that one-half Of
mankind is made up of fools and the
other knaves, it is the fellow with a
little cigar stand stuffed full of bogus
goods. Unless he is remarkably
clean-cut rascal himself you will see
him twenty years hence-if he lives
that long-behind the Same little stand
selling the same old false brands and
still believing himself the smartest
creature in the business. The men.
however, who march upward in the
trade, who make fortunes and a name
for themselves, as very general rule,
are those who know that it needs no
policy to make IN honest man. He
cannot be made in that way; he must
be honest. He must know, too, that
the mass of men to know a good cigar
when they smoke it. Let MS take, for
instance, an average smoker, He pays
ten cents for cigar hn he makes no
boast of it. He is simply buying COM
fort, and he wants 1t. He may not.
and probably cannot. with o half n
dozen whiirs tell whieh Is the better
OF two cigars, though ona may be much
better than the other. lie probably
has not an analytical miul and has not
the command of langpa :, to describe
the peculiar nayors a.,, oaoking char
acteristics of the two cigars. Those
are the accomplishments of experts.
AT the same tlm ytt iyarage smoker,
If allowed to enjoy his cigar in silence
and at home, c.n tell very quickly
which of the two he likes best, and if
he bought them at different shops. he
will know Which one will get his trade
next time, though he conj,l not possibly
describe the difference between the two
cigars. Fancy prices, gaudy showcases,
tinfoil and pretty ban Is, to say nothing
of the magic term imported" may
tickle the fancy Of dudes and a small
number of foolish rich men, but the
great mass Of smokers enjoy good
article when they are lucky enough to
got it. But it's rarely that chance pre-
sents itself.

People and Thelr Elnsel Rails.

He who has white spots on his nails
Is fond of the society of ladies, but is
tickle in his attachments. He who keeps
them well rounded at the tip is proud
man. He whose nails are detached
| from the finger at the further extrem-
) ity, and when cut showing a larger pro-
portion of the finger end than usual,
ought never to get married. as it would
be a wonder If he were master in his
own house, for short nails betoken
patience, good nature, and, above all,
resignation under severe trials. Nails
which remain long after being cut level
with the finger end are sign of gener-
osity. Transparent nails, suffused with
light red, mark cheerful, gentle, and
unable disposition. Lovers with trans
parent nails usually carry their passion
TO the verge of madness. If you come
across a man with long and pointed
nails you may take it for granted that
he is either player on the guitar
tailor, or an attorney. He who keeps
his nails somewhat long, round, and
tipped with black, is a romantic poet.
Anyone having the nail of his left
thumb all streaked, as though it had
been stained with snuff, is sure to be
schoolmaster. Thick nails indicate OBJ
stinacy and ill-nature He whose nails
are dirty all over is a recluse, a philoso-
pher, compositor, or dyer A man
with yellow nails is one who indulges
in every species of vice, that of smok-
ing being the most predominant. Be
careful not to confound with these
such as are in the habit of peeling their
oranges without knife. The owner
of very round and smooth nails is of a
peaceable and conciliatory disposition.
He who has the nail of the right thumb
slightly notched is regular glutton,
even nibbling at himself, as, when hay
ing nothing eatable at hand, he falls to
biting his own nails. And lastly, he
who keeps his nails irreguIarly cut is
hasty and determined. Men who have
not the patience to cut their nails prop
erly generally come to grief; most of
them commit suicide or get married.
We advise the fair sex to keep their
eyes on the nails of intending husbands
If they are to look for happiness in their
welded life.

wanted-More People,

We have always believed if the South.
ern people would make their summer
pilgrimages to the West instead of the
Northern States II would result in much
more good to them. 1t would put us TO
thinking, and the mind would involun
tarily make some comparisons that would
benefit those of us who have run in the
same groove so long.
Although younger as State by seventy
years, Iowa has more population than
Georgia. The percentage of increase in
population during the last decade was
30 per cent. In Georgia; 2B7 per cent In
Nebraska. More people means more
wealth. The assessed wealth Of Iowa
Is one hundred and sixty millions more
than that of Georgia.
1t has been the favorite hobby Of many
sensible Southern men to say ,hey wanted
no immigrants. "If it Is good country.
let our children have it," they often said.
The day for thatha passed, and If our
section and State desires to maintain its
position, political and physical. il must
increase in population and wealth as
do the other sections 'rr1's q 9fttfs
This day and hour is full OF posibili-
ties for the South, We have an awaken
ing knowledge Of our own wonderful re-
sources and power The capital Of the
world Is seeking the many opportunities
offered here to increase itself. We should
act In this matter by bringing to our
midst the good people from other States
and abroad to till our broad acres aud
add to our strength. il a
Benefits beget one another. Heaven
helps those. who help themselves. New
comcrs bring new ideas and new dollars,
Brains and gold rule this sphere. II be-
hooves a community to have them both
We invite settlers to come among us.
Let us do more than that, and add to our
rapidly increasing attractions until they
are forced by self.interest to actually
come and send for their neighbors and

Another Indian War Imminent.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Feb. "a
special to the Ne,cs says: Geo. Lock
hart, deputy sheriff at Navajo Springs,
accompanied by Ed. Palmer and Tom
King, started Monday morning for the
Navajo reservation, to arrest an Indian
for horse stealing. They found him on
the reservation, surrounded by a large
party of the tribe. The Indian resisted
arrest and Lockhart shot, killing him in
stantly. The other Indians opened fire
on the three men, and Lockhart, Palmer
and King were killed and left lying where
they tell. The sheriff. posse killed two
Indians and wounded two Others. The
Indians then rode off to Benefits store,
near Manulao station, on the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad, and stole all the provis-
ions they could carry off. Excitement is
high and people living around the reser-
walton are afraid the entire tribe will go
on the warpath, and another Iudian war
is imminent.

Cancelled Land Entries.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Thc commits
sioner of the land Office, in a letter to Mr..
Randall, chairman of the house appropri-
alton committee, gives the following
statement regarding the number of can
celed and entries in Dakota:
The record Of the cancellation of any
particular entry can always be at once re-
ferred to. but there is no method of
forming an opinion in respect to the total
number of cancellations unless it should
be arrived at by a guess of possible per-
centages. These cancellations result
from all the causes that affect land en-
tries, chief of which are a~bandonments
and voluntary accomplishments, and ag-
gregate a very considerable proportion of
original entries. 1t is estimated that fully
three-quarters of the timber culture en-.
tries are ~relinquished within three years
after entry. A less but still a large pro-
portion of homestead entries are relin-
punished or abandoned. The proper
ton of entries relinqulshed varies largely
in the different states and territories, de-
pending much on the extent and pressure
of speculation. R~elinquished lands are
re-enteIed by others as a rule, that being
the object of the REIMBURSEMENT. In
Dakota it is estimated in the division of
this Office having charge of the records
that the cancellations from relinquish-
ments, abandonments, and contests are
about one-half of all the entries origin
ally made"

take the oath, but the commissioner was
satisfied by the showing made that he
could pay, and sent him back to jail.

BOULDER, Col, Feb. MIR. and
Mrs. Wendolin Mol. a young married
couple, living at the mouth Of Left Hand
creek, eight miles from here, to all APP
pearances have been very happy until
three weeks ago when the first baby was
born, when the husband became very
abusive and quarrelsome. On Monday
night Mol without any provocation struck
his wife in the face several times, knock
ing her down. She did not resent the
assault, being almost heartbroken at his
brutality. Monday morning the husband
got up early, built a fire, cooked coffee,
drank it and then sat down to smoke.
His wife was still in bed nursing the babe
and had fallen into a doze, when she was
wakened by the report of a gun. She
jumped up, but fell to the floor uncon-
scious, the ball having entered her should
er and passed into the neck. Mol disap-
peared. She recovered and climbed into
bed with great difficulty and sank into a
stupor. When she came to again the
babe was crying, but she, having become
paralyzed, was unable to move or to reach
it. The fire went out and the babe cried
until midnight, when it died. The wom-
an was not discovered until Tuesday
night, when some relative called at the
house. The woman cannot recover. Of
fcers and a posse of citizens are pursuing
the murderer, who is thought to have es-
capped to the mountains.

Consulting the President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Several Dem
ocratic members of the house committee
on foreign affairs had an interview with
the president to-day in connection with
retaliatory fisheries legislation now pend
ing in congress. The interview was strict
ly confidential. The president sought to
impress upon the members of the com
mittee the necessity of making very clear
and free from ambiguity any measure re-
lating to the subject of fisheries which
congress may see fit to pass. If there
was TO be any legislation on the subject,
he said, it should state definitely whether
railroads and all other carriers were to be
included in the prohibition. While the
president did not commit himself to anv
legislation on the subject, the gentlemen
present gathered from his remarks that
as between the two bills he favored the
house bill for the reason that it is more
explicit and mandatory in its character.

Father, Wife and Son Burned.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The Inter Oceans
Des Moines, Ia, special says; News was
received here to-day of a horrible accident
or tragedy that occurred about six miles
northwest of Jefferson. A small farm
house occupied by a man named Lucklum
was entirely consumed by fire at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon, and Lucklum's aged
father. wife and son were burned death
therein. Two neighboring women saw
the flames and tried to get in, but the
doors were fastened, with the occupants
inside. This, together with the fact that
a gun and revolver were found near the
charred remains OF the old man, indicate
foul play, possibly murder and suicide.

Reports to the Drorers' Journal indi-
cate that fully as many cattle as usual are
being fed, with some enthusiastically
in Kansas and MISUNDERSTANDING large
increase. Fewer hogs are being fed than
usual. Fat hogs are generally very scarce.
Some sections report a fair number OF
pigs for summer and fall markets, but as
a rule not within IL! per cent of as many
as usual. Disease has been one of the
principal causes of the decrease, but is not
now as prevalent as last year and two
years ago. With regard to prices and the
general outlook, cattle ~raisers feel some
what discouraged, while hog raisers are
jubilant. Sheep raisers feel 100 per cent
better than one year ago.
